The AQM 60 from Quixote Transportation Technologies (QTT) is an air quality monitoring system designed to measure a wide range of air quality parameters in a cost-effective, compact package. The system measures the top six pollutants considered harmful by the US Environmental Protection Agency and integrates with road weather information systems, advisory radio systems and ITS software platforms to provide weather, traffic and air quality data on one system.

As QTT points out, monitoring air quality data near roadways can assist with pollution mapping and control; detecting emissions from traffic flow, in tunnels, and near construction projects; environmental impact assessments, urban land use planning; and community health programmes (alerting the public about poor air quality).

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni
